Zero as a numeral was not "invented" until 1000 years ago in India. Up until that time, a place holder was used or the "space" was left blank. The concept of "nothing or null". Existed before the numeral was created. So, n effect in a natural number system 1 is the first numeral because zero as a numeral did not exist. Thus: null or nothing, 1,2,3,4.....
